Advance ticket bookings for the Prithviraj–Mohanlal-starring film Khalifa—The Ruler are underway and show solid early demand, according to NDTV.

The outlet reports that the Malayalam version records the highest ticket sales so far. In contrast, bookings for the Tamil and Telugu versions are described as comparatively limited at this stage.

While the reporting focuses on early performance across language releases, both versions presented align on the same overall pattern: strongest advance response for Malayalam and weaker initial figures for Tamil and Telugu. NDTV frames the trend as an indicator of early audience interest ahead of the film’s release, without providing further breakdowns such as venue lists, ticket counts, or time-based comparisons.
